"In an incredible journey through the sacred pages of the Bible, we are summoned to explore the boundaries between the known and the mysterious, between the tangible and the infinite. Each word, like bright stars in a night sky, reveals truths that transcend human understanding, challenging us to plunge into the depths of the divine.
In this labyrinth of revelations, we are confronted with questions that echo like thunder in the corridors of time. What is God, and how is He? Unraveling these divine enigmas, we encounter a wealth of answers that resonate like eternal melodies, intertwining the sacred and the human.
However, as we progress, we realize the limitations of our finite understanding. We are finite and limited beings in the face of the grandeur of our Creator. How can we attempt to grasp an ocean with our hands? Similarly, our endeavor to comprehend the fullness of God is in this humble recognition that the journey becomes even more fascinating.
As explorers of the Divine Cosmos, we navigate through the mysteries of creation and redemption. Our understanding, a compass pointing to the infinite, leads us through the vast fields of faith. For, just as an ancient map unveils unknown lands, the Bible reveals the hidden corners of God's heart.
Embark on this spiritual epic, aware that, while questions about what are revealed to us, questions about how challenge us to contemplate the unfathomable. Unveiling the scriptures, we become pilgrims of divine wisdom, longing for more, aware that the pursuit of understanding is an eternal journey before the eternal God.
And I am here to tell you, with the Bible open, that God is Spirit. You have not seen God, and no one has ever seen God. Now, it is true, of course, that the Bible speaks of His hands, but that is just a way to make our limited minds understand that God is very powerful. It is true that the Bible sometimes speaks of His eyes, but that is just a way to make our limited minds understand that He sees everything. It is true that the Bible speaks of His mouth, but that is just a way to make our limited minds understand that God speaks and reveals Himself.
God is Spirit. He has no body, cannot be weighed, measured, touched, or felt. He is a spirit, and God is a personal spirit. Who is God? Because He is not something, He is someone. That is why God has names, and the most well-known name of God is, of course, Jehovah, Yahweh, which is just the English way of writing the name with which He revealed Himself to Moses in the burning bush: 'I am who I am.'
God is someone, and that is why several times in the Bible, we read that people became friends with Him, and He became theirs. And that is why from the beginning of the Bible to the end, we read that God can be known. This is the great God we find in the scriptures.
But how is He in Himself? In terms of space, God is everywhere. 'Do I not fill heaven and earth, says the Lord' (Jeremiah 23:24). This means that God is not absent anywhere, and that God, in all His glory, all His being, all His majesty, all His purity, all His power, everything that God is, is anywhere, anytime, and everywhere, all the time. In terms of space, He is everywhere.
Now, our mortal minds cannot comprehend this. How can it be that all of God is here, and yet all of God is there? How can it be that God, in all His fullness, is here, and yet if we were to go to the farthest galaxy, all of God is there? This leaves us completely perplexed and surpasses our human understanding. But that is what the scripture declares, and all we can do is bow in worship.
God is eternal. In terms of time, He is eternal. 'From everlasting to everlasting, you are God.' When Abraham prayed to Him, or when we pray to Him right now, He is exactly the same. He is utterly unchanged. He had no beginning, has no end, has no age, is infinite. There is no kind of limit to God.
